Law (general) / Legal document
French term or phrase: lien d’indivisibilité
La caducité peut également intervenir dans le contexte d’un lien d’indivisibilité existant dans l’esprit des parties entre deux ou plusieurs conventions formant un accord complexe . Ce lien d’indivisibilité peut justifier que la nullité de l’un des maillons de l’ensemble contractuel emporte caducité des autres

agree  gail desautels: although usually I try to stay away from "of", in this case I would say "bond of indivisibility" :)

intention of indivisibility


Explanation:
If you look at the whole phrase:

"... dans le contexte d'un lien d’indivisibilité existant dans l’esprit des parties entre deux ou plusieurs conventions ...", it is clear that this is something that would only exist in the minds of the parties concerned. I think this should be translated as "intention" rather than "perception" as the latter is too slippery a concept to be used contractually.

  -> Thank you, rkillings.
neutral  B D Finch: If it exists in their minds, but is not an intention, is that sufficient to nullify the agreement?
